VACATION
We will be leaving on vacation soon, to watch Q's little sister marry the man of her dreams. I'm excited and nervous.
This will be like our 2nd honeymoon,...... kinda. We are not taking the kids so that is why I say 2nd honeymoon. My parents and sisters will be watching them. I'm so blessed to have family close. I know that they will be in good hands and will have lots of fun on Papa's farm, and fishing in the back of the house. Lots of land to explore in the country. I'm sure they'll have farmer's tans and all.
I'm nervous because I have never been away from my kids for more than 3 days. It'll be 7 days for this trip. I have been constantly thinking about the fact that we will not see each other for a week. I know it's short but at times seems like an eternity. It makes me numb. I feel silly thinking on those certain days when life is tough and wanting nothing more than a vacation AWAY from my sweet little ones. Now that it's around the corner, I don't feel that way.
I just have to look at it as they are getting a vacation too. A week on the farm, in the country, with G &G and Aunties, right? I'm not worried, I just think I miss them already!!
Maybe it's because Gibson's had two rough days. Another allergic reaction to his shots, and tonight his body didn't agree with the merry go round and Q got the repracutions on his clothes!!! Maybe it's because Stella learned what a Uvala is from the book "Llama, Llama, Red Pajama," and now she is asking 20 questions about the human mouth. And I think she is just the cutest.
My question is....... If you have gone on a trip before w/o kids, did you do something special for them? I was thinking of wrapping up some $1 store presents for them to open up everyday. Or I've heard some write a letter. Any thoughts or ideas?
